You can get any size/type capacitor from DigiKey. See this thread for the part numbers I used: http://www.fixya.com/support/r741402-polaroid_flm_373b_lcd_tv_black_screen

Most likley it is the main processor on the main board..You cannot replace this processor.Go to shopjimmy.com and see if they have just the main board.

To unit712 I replaced the capacitors on my Tv It turned right on.Thanx so much you just saved me a whole bunch of money.Your the BEST THANK YOU
SOURCE: Polaroid Tv Repaired thank to you !!!! You are the MAN!!!
I had the same problem as everyone else. The blue light would come on, but no picture. We would have to unplug and reboot several times to get a picture. The quality of the picture was going bad as well. yesterday, it wouldn't turn on at all. We followed the advise and changed to two capacitors, plugged the tv in and it turned on without a problem!! (you could see the capacitators were buldging) We will see how long this will last, but hopefully will buy more time for us. (we have never soldered before, but thought we didn't have much to loose, and it wasn't that hard!) It took less than 30 minutes and under $20 to fix vs the minimum of $250 polaroid wanted to charge us. If there is a class action suit, count us in!!!

The following link posted by stiv0 gives detailed instructions on how to replace the two capacitors that commonly go bad on this TV. When these capacitors go bad they prevent the TV from turning on. However, you still get a red light when you plug it in. Since your not getting a red light I'm not sure this fix will work for you. I'd open up the TV and see if the capacitors are bulged out as described in stiv0 post. If they are I'd go ahead and replace them and give the TV another try. This fix is fairly easy to do and very inexpensive so you don’t have much to lose.
